There are very few tattoo designs that are as universally coveted as a tropical palm tree. They're extremely versatile, and lend themselves equally to a small, minimalist, design [1] as a whimsical, watercolor-style tattoo, or an all-out creation that dominates an entire limb. Basically, there's a palm tree tattoo for every taste, whether you prefer simple tattoos [2], or are in the market for a real showstopper.

We think palm trees are oddly calming, regardless of the season, or the tattoo style you opt for, and conveniently, they're also a great option for couples and best friends who're looking for the perfect design for matching tattoos [3]. Our personal favourite styles are those that mix minimalist line drawings, with pops of colour that help to add an individual flair to the tattoo.
